Supported sampler formats
See what you can open, build and convert for each sampler or software format. Each row separates verified software behavior, current limits and physical hardware testing. Support for one file profile does not mean every feature of that sampler is covered.
Matrix reviewed September 18, 2026. Use the current installer on the download page. Native project editing requires a supported source project where noted; sample-transfer output carries audio without a complete native project.
LOADED ON REAL HARDWARE
3
Recorded models: S950, S1100 and S3200XL. A related model or shared file format does not inherit a hardware pass.
MPC — beta
7
MPC targets that write native files and media. None loaded on a real MPC yet.
Other samplers — beta, untested
35
Sampler families from other makers. Software-verified only. Owner test reports decide what gets promoted.
How to read this page
Software-verified means the file S-Convert writes reopens in S-Convert and in at least one independent tool (ConvertWithMoss, akaiutil, HxC, a DAW). It does not mean a thirty-year-old sampler, drive emulator or firmware revision accepts it. Loaded on real hardware is a separate, stricter gate: someone put the output on the actual machine and it loaded and played. Only the rows that say so have passed it.
Work from backup media. Do not overwrite the only copy of a disk, card or sampler library with beta output.
Akai S-series
CoreWhat S-Convert was built for. Brendan owns S-series hardware and tests on it. Three models have recorded loads of S-Convert output; the rest of the family shares those writers but has no separate pass yet. The hardware column says exactly which is which.
| Sampler | Files / media | Software | What works | Current limitations | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AkaiS900 | 800 KB raw floppy / Gotek image | Software-verified | Programs, mapped samples, two velocity layers, loops, envelopes, filter and PCM12 output. | Multi-disk continuation and a wider sampler-authored library still need coverage. | Not tested on real hardwareShares the S950 writer, but no S900 has loaded S-Convert output. Owner report wanted. |
| AkaiS950 | 1.6 MB floppy / Gotek and HD9 SCSI image | Software-verified | Programs, mapped samples, velocity layers, loops, envelopes, filter and compressed/planar PCM12. | HD9 multi-volume layouts and broader native-media coverage remain. | Loaded on real hardwareLoaded and played on a real S950 via Gotek floppy and ZuluSCSI HD9 image. Sample header, keygroup ADSR, filter and velocity fields checked against the front panel. |
| AkaiS1000 | Floppy, SCSI and CD-family media | Software-verified | Programs, keygroups, samples, velocity maps, tuning and loops through the complete build workflow. | CD-ROM output is a work in progress. | Not tested on real hardwareShares the S1100 disk format, but no separate S1000 unit has been tested. S1100 SCSI evidence does not establish S1000 or floppy/Gotek acceptance. |
| AkaiS1100 | S1000-family media with S1100 identity | Software-verified | S1000-compatible Program, keygroup, sample, tuning and loop conversion with the S1100 OS stamp so effects sends are live on load. | S1100-specific effects beyond the send, and a complete model-specific native-media set, are not covered. | Loaded on real hardwareSCSI images written by S-Convert load on a real S1100; envelopes, tuning, key ranges, filter and keygroup counts read back identically on the LCD. Floppy/Gotek output for the S1100 has not been hardware-tested. |
| AkaiS3000 / S3200 / XL / CD3000 | HD floppy, SCSI and CD images | Software-verified | Programs, samples, keygroups, overlapping velocity zones, loops and the retained S3000-family controls. | Some model-specific effects, global state and less-common media variants remain outside the tested subset. CD-ROM output is a work in progress. | Loaded on real hardwareSCSI images load on a real S3200XL with all envelope stages reading back on the LCD; ZBridge live control is confirmed audibly on the same unit. Floppy/Gotek output and other models in the family have no separate pass. |
| AkaiS2000 / S2800 | HD floppy and SCSI images | Software-verified | Same writer as the S3000 family: Programs, samples, keygroups, velocity zones and loops. | Model-specific effects and global state are outside the tested subset. | Not tested on real hardwareShares the S3000 writer, but no S2000 or S2800 hardware load is recorded. |
| AkaiS5000 / S6000 / Z4 / Z8 | AKP Program plus WAV folder | Partial | Mapped Programs and sample folders retain key/velocity maps, tuning, level, pan, crop and loops. Automatic S5000/S6000 grouping preserves amplitude and filter envelopes through saved-project Build. Z4/Z8 retains PCM16/24 at 44.1/48/96 kHz; S5000/S6000 uses PCM16 at 44.1/48 kHz. | MULTI, effects, modulation and machine-global state are not fully represented. Model-specific native provenance and physical acceptance remain unverified. | Not tested on real hardwareNo physical load on an S5000, S6000, Z4 or Z8 is recorded. Native envelope curves and hardware playback remain unverified. |
Akai MPC
BetaNew in the beta. Output reopens in S-Convert and in independent software. No MPC output has been loaded on a real MPC yet.
| Sampler | Files / media | Software | What works | Current limitations | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AkaiMPC60 / MPC60-II | SND + PGM and 800 KB FAT12 image | Software-verified | Drum Programs, pad/note mapping, SND samples and floppy output. Retained native Programs preserve original sounds and supported play-mode, alternate-note, tuning, pan and envelope edits through saved-project Build. | Retained PGM/SND edits and fresh authoring have different control limits. Sequences, songs and complete machine state are not authored; physical acceptance remains unverified. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiMPC3000 | SND + PGM and FAT16 SCSI volume | Software-verified | Drum Program/sample and SCSI output. Retained PGM/SND Programs preserve supported note/pad, tuning, pan, amplitude-envelope and filter controls through project reopen and native Build. Fresh authoring supports verified tuning, sound level and filter-depth fields. | Native control ranges differ from other MPCs. Sequences, effects, global state and full playback/loop semantics remain outside the verified subset. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiMPC2000 / MPC2000XL | PGM + SND folders, floppy/HFE and FAT16 SCSI; APS/ALL import profiles | Software-verified | Program/sample conversion and retained native PGM/SND Build. MPC2000XL supports saved-project native tuning and filter edits, plus embedded SND gain/tuning on the classic PGM import path. Original sound bytes are preserved in retained folder and disk output. | XL-specific controls do not establish MPC2000 parity. APS embedded SND gain/tuning projection, separate playback extents/loop transport, APS snapshot writing, sequences and full global state remain incomplete. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiMPC1000 / MPC2500 / MPC500 | PGM + WAV card folder | Software-verified | PGM/WAV import and output with the shared classic MPC profile. Supported native pan values preserve their discrete range; unrepresentable fractional edits refuse. | Model/OS-specific Programs, project, sequence, mixer and effect state are not complete. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiMPC4000 | AKP + PCM16/24 WAV folder | Software-verified | Mapped Program/sample folders with canonical MPC pad allocation, PCM16/24 at 44.1/48/96 kHz, and retained crop/loop boundaries. Fresh output reopens through independent software readers. | Complete project, sequence, effect and advanced modulation state are excluded. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiMPC5000 | 50S / 50K read support and legacy PGM + WAV output | Partial | Reads native Programs; writes the MPC1000-compatible Program/sample path. | This is not complete native MPC5000 project authoring. | Not tested on real hardware |
| AkaiModern MPC keygroup family | XPM 2.1 keygroup package + WAV | Partial | Keygroup instruments with mapped WAV samples and supported zone parameters. | Not a complete MPC project, drum-program or standalone workflow replacement. | Not tested on real hardware |
Other samplers
Beta — untested on hardwareWritten from format documentation, public files and independent tools such as ConvertWithMoss, akaiutil and HxC. Output reopens in software. None of these formats have been loaded on the real machine. Treat every file as untested until a hardware report says otherwise, and never overwrite the only copy of a disk with it.

Mapping, tone sharing and loops are software-verified across all six raw/HFE profiles; velocity splits, release loops and crossfades are excluded. The independent zone detector has gap/edge projection limits; its native map and PCM readers agree. Generated media is OS-free/nonbootable; subtones, layered modes, synthesis depth, Gotek setup and hardware acceptance remain unverified. | Not tested on real hardware |

Imported KMP keyboard tracking survives direct conversion and saved-project Build, with explicit editing and tracking-aware preview. Admitted KSF reverse/loop flags, original sample addresses and 8/16-bit PCM survive native output and saved address edits; independent reader checks cover structured and loose Build. Fresh WAV files can be prepared for native address/reverse/loop editing, retaining stereo in 16-bit material at up to 48 kHz. | Reverse and native loop-tune preview remain unavailable pending playback evidence. Fresh-sample preparation applies trim and audio edits to owned material; original source files remain intact. Conflicting generic trim/loop edits refuse; native address fields provide explicit edits. Shared-sample conflicts require structured keygroups. File-level preservation does not establish each model’s sample-rate or hardware compatibility. PCG synthesis and Program authoring, secondary-start playback and remaining relative controls are not covered; other PCG variants may refuse. | Not tested on real hardware |

Software formats
SoftwareNo sampler to test. Output is checked by reopening it in S-Convert and in the software that uses the format.
| Sampler | Files / media | Software | What works | Current limitations | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E-muEmulator X / X2 / X3 | EXB bank + SamplePool EBL files | Software-verified | Preset/sample import and combined EXB/EBL banks with up to 4,096 Presets and 4,096 shared mono/stereo samples. Maps, tuning, gain, pan, crops and forward loops; admitted fractional ADSR values, phases above 30 seconds, and static filter cutoff/poles survive saved-project structured and loose Build. | Version-3 Preset/version-2 sample profile. Admitted static low-pass 2/4/6-pole and high-pass/band-pass 2/4-pole shapes; nonzero resonance, unsupported modes/poles, extra envelope stages and active filter envelopes refuse. Modulation, database features and native-host playback remain unverified. | Software format |
| InterchangeGigaSampler / GigaStudio | GIG v2 | Software-verified | Mapped GIG v2 instruments with supported layers, stereo, velocity, selection and release-trigger dimensions. Native per-cell envelopes, filters, modulation, crossfades, velocity response, sample-start offsets and pitch tracking survive verified conversion and saved-project Build. Independent libgig checks compare native values, maps and PCM. | Supported native controls may refuse cross-format conversion without an equivalent. Ambiguous shared samples require the structured instrument. Full envelope-controller preview, other dimensions, scripts, compression and historical GigaStudio playback remain unverified. | Software format |
| InterchangeSFZ | SFZ text package + audio | Software-verified | Mapped zones retain inherited/region envelopes, precise static filter units and poles, editable note ranges, crop, loops, trigger and selection metadata through saved-project Build. Trigger and loop mode remain independent; shared-sample conflicts refuse lossy loose output. | Includes/macros, full modulation and player-specific opcodes remain outside the admitted subset. Unsupported filter shapes, active filter envelopes and uncalibrated resonance conversions refuse. Retained metadata does not establish identical playback in every SFZ player. | Software format |
| InterchangeSoundFont 2 | SF2 RIFF bank | Software-verified | Program/sample import and output retain admitted maps, tuning, pan, attenuation, stereo and loop data. Saved-project Build preserves native filter precision, delay/hold timing and supported timing modulators. Preview checks cover supported velocity, controller, bend and per-key pressure timing routes. | Only documented generator/modulator combinations are admitted. Other modulation destinations, channel isolation, stereo variants and full SoundFont DSP equivalence remain incomplete. Software timing tests do not establish physical MIDI input or hardware playback. | Software format |
| InterchangeDecent Sampler | DSPreset package + audio | Software-verified | Mapped DSPreset instruments retain sample-level envelopes and optional envelope curves, ranges, tuning, gain, pan, crop and loops. Supported trigger/sequence selection metadata and discrete controls survive Stage and saved-project Build. | Unencrypted DSPreset subset. Retained envelope curves are not applied by S-Convert preview. Library archives, effects, bindings, UI, scripting and full group/global mixing remain separate. | Software format |
| RenoiseRenoise instruments | XRNI instrument archive | Partial | Admitted sample maps, velocity/key tracking, selection metadata and loop-release behavior survive saved-project Build. Preview checks cover retained key-to-pitch and velocity-to-volume behavior; shared-sample conflicts refuse lossy loose output. | Instrument subset, not a complete Renoise song or synthesis engine. Unsupported mappings and ambiguous sample ownership refuse. Full effects, modulation and native Renoise playback equivalence remain unverified. | Software format |

A hardware report is what moves a row from “not tested” to “loaded on real hardware”. Include the exact sampler and OS version, the transfer device or drive emulator, whether the media mounted, and whether samples, key maps, velocity layers, tuning and loops played as expected. Failures are as useful as successes.
